searching didn't exactly turn up much. Was looking at http://www.22re.com/main/toy/kbhipro.htm and wondered what others thought about it. seems rather cheap for a "performance" engine, but what do I know...

 

or you can get a similar engine from Oregon engines for $1495 with a lifetime warranty.....

 

are they the same folks as engbldr?
thanks btw that's a really reasonable price for something reputable. I can't say I know or trust anyone local.

 

I like the prices. I am lookingt into engines now I will keep them in mind.

 

you can always find a better price, what you cant find is customer service before AND after the sale and a company that uses top-notch components!!!!

 

BTW, the KB has new head + components, fully re-built LB w/ the KB 9.7:1 pistons a RV2 (272) cam. Taiho bearings...........etc etc etc, Its not cheap @ 2400.00 but sure isnt a price inflation of some other stage 2, 3, 4 motors

 

i bought a carb adapter from the guy cause he lives about 15 mins away. nice guy and definitly knows what hes talking about. hes not enginebuilder. enginebuilder dosent do longblocks i dont think. but those keith black blocks do look sick dont they i saw a couple in his shop when i went and they look better in person

 

I thought they looked sick too!! thats why I bought one! I hope he's sold more than one, I dont want to be the only guy that paid for the upgrade. Very happy w/ it so far...........8317.7 mi later

 

Are you running it with the stock EFI? Hows it doing for you?

 

WORKS FINE, stock injectors, original computer etc....Im even running stock ignition. I have another 86 22R 4x4 that im going to run same motor but w/ the weber 38.................1 to use and 1 to abuse!!!!!!!

 

I think the next one will be painted red, I have the green one now. I assume that the red paint will increase h.p. by atleast 3 or 4 horses!!!!!!!!

 

I bought a Street RV head from ENGNBLDR.COM and it was a beautiful thing. everything worked and performed as it should have. Until I bent the # 4 intake valve. Even though it was no fault of Engnbldr Todd sent me a valve and guide free of charge.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE I can't say anything bad about them.
